After reading Craig's kind post I was completely speechless.  Words 
still fail me.

However, I do need to say something about Brad Walker.  He was the 
ENTIRE brains behind the Meta-Speed Digital Servo, although the 
original idea for the product came from VP&T's senior colorist, Steve 
Franko.

I had the good fortune of having Brad serve as Head of R&D and Chief 
Engineer at VP&T for over 13 years.  I had never encountered another 
engineer with such a unique combination of both hardware and software 
skills that he intuitively displayed.

Many of you may know that Brad now works for Texas Instruments.  He 
has been instrumental in the design of many of the key aspects of the 
DLP D-Cinema projector systems at TI.  If there is anything clever or 
sublime in these designs, I would bet that Brad had a major hand in 
it.

He truly deserves tremendous accolades for his many unsung 
contributions in the film and video industry throughout his brilliant 
career.
